Airlines Guidelines For Lithium Batteries

http://safetravel.dot.gov/tips.html
As of January 1, 2008, travelers may no longer pack spare lithium batteries of any kind in checked baggage. Passengers wishing to carry spare lithium batteries for devices such as laptops, cell phones and cameras are now required to pack them in their carry-on baggage with the terminals covered/insulated. Travelers may check bags that contain batteries, as long as they are installed in electronic devices.

    Guess I'll have to go back to using disposable camera when I travel. Ain't no way I'm packing my good Canon in my suitcase.

    I guess we could keep the cameras on our person & pack the batteries. Just my luck, the batteries will fall out (since we can no longer place locks on luggage) and I'd still be SOL.
